Specifications of Mobile House Containers

Admin 17 de septiembre de 2026

The specifications of mobile house containers vary widely, with multiple size standards existing across different manufacturers and uses. The following introduces common specifications from the perspectives of different types and manufacturers:

I. Specifications Provided by Integrated Housing Technology Companies The container mobile houses from Beijing Yuanhao Integrated Housing Technology Co., Ltd. adopt a size design of 3m×6m×2.7m. This specification is suitable as an independent living unit or temporary office space, with a height of 2.7 meters meeting daily activity needs and an area of 18 square meters accommodating basic living facilities. The container modular houses from Beijing Jinhua Hengyuan Integrated Housing Co., Ltd., on the other hand, adopt a size of 6055mm×2990mm×2896mm, with lengths and widths close to 6 meters and 3 meters respectively, and a height of 2.896 meters close to 3 meters. This specification offers greater flexibility in modular combinations and can expand usable area through splicing.

II. Standard Sizes of Shipping Container Renovated Houses Shipping container houses are designed based on international standards, with common specifications including:

  • 20-foot General Purpose Container: The internal dimensions are 5.9 meters in length and 2.3 meters in width, with a height typically ranging from 2.3 to 2.4 meters and a volume of approximately 33 cubic meters, suitable for single occupants or small families.
  • 40-foot Container: The internal volume can reach 58 cubic meters, with a length of approximately 12 meters and widths and heights similar to those of the 20-foot container. Functional areas can be divided using partitions.
  • 45-foot Container: With a volume of 86 cubic meters, it is the largest type among shipping containers. However, it should be noted that renovations must strictly adhere to the original structure, and self-cutting may lead to a decrease in structural strength or even collapse.

III. Customized Specifications by Manufacturers Some manufacturers offer flexible customization services, such as creating small single rooms measuring 3 meters on each side (with an area of 9 square meters), suitable as temporary storage rooms or single-person dormitories; or splicing them into suites measuring 6 meters by 3 meters (with an area of 18 square meters) to achieve functional zoning through combinations. The weathering steel container houses from Hangzhou Yuanzhu Technology Co., Ltd. adopt a size of 6000mm×3000mm×2896mm, similar to the specifications of Jinhua Hengyuan, but use weathering steel as the material, making them more suitable for long-term outdoor use.

IV. Core Principles for Specifications Selection

  1. Purpose-Oriented: For temporary living, prioritize 20-40 foot shipping containers or standard integrated housing models; for long-term use, consider material durability (such as weathering steel).
  2. Space Requirements: For single occupants, choose small single rooms measuring 3 meters on each side; for families or teams, recommend lengths of 6 meters or more.
  3. Renovation Limitations: Shipping containers must retain their original structural frames, while integrated housing can be freely cut and spliced.
  4. Transportation Convenience: Standard shipping container sizes comply with road transportation height restrictions; oversized products require advance planning of transportation routes.
